Fans want Baahubali director SS Rajamouli to make a film on Ramayan

Fans have asked SS Rajamouli to make a film on the Hindu epic, Ramayan. The show was recently telecast on DD National.

SS Rajamouli’s next project is RRR starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead role.

Filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who became a national phenomenon with the Baahubali series, has often expressed that it is his dream to make Mahabharata.

“Rebroadcast of Ramayana on Doordarshan smashes viewership records worldwide, the show becomes most watched entertainment show in the world with 7.7 crore viewers on 16th of April,” DD National posted on its official Twitter handle.

The re-run of 1987’s Ramayan, starring Arun Govil as Rama, Dipika Chikhlia Topiwala as Sita and Sunil Lahri as Lakshman, ended on April 18. Uttar Ramayan also ended its re-run on Saturday.
